There are few stand-up comedy in the Spring Festival Gala, only two paragraphs, one success and one failure
Some people say that the Spring Festival Gala is the spiritual sustenance of the people of the whole country, many artists are popular through the Spring Festival Gala, and cross talk actors are no exception, they are eager to emerge on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the Spring Festival Gala has also made many cross talk works well-known, and many familiar cross talk works have been presented on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but if you talk about stand-up comedy, there are only two paragraphs in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, why is one a great success, and the other is a cold reception?
Stand-up comedy", as the name suggests, refers to cross talk performed by one actor independently. This form of performance requires a high level of skill from the actor because of the lack of partners.
There are no compliments and greasy seams, it all depends on personal performance ability, so there are strict requirements for the actor's kung fu. In the historical development of cross talk, Liu Baorui is known as"Stand-up king", his performance level is unmatched.
Stand-up comedy not only tests the actor's skills, but also needs to be paved and stabilized by one person, so it is difficult to shake off the burden in a short time. Therefore, the performance time of the Spring Festival Gala is strict, and many classic cross talks cannot be moved to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the history of the Spring Festival Gala, there are only two stand-up comedies, each performed by master-level actors, but the final performance effect is very different. Ma Ji's performance of "Universe Brand Cigarettes" in the 1984 Spring Festival Gala is the first stand-up comedy in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, he is not only the performer of the Spring Festival Gala, but also served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala, which can be said to be the pioneer and hero of the Spring Festival Gala.
Ma Ji, a bright star in the cross talk industry, has a deep foundation in cross talk, is good at creating, innovates praise cross talk, and satirical cross talk is also excellent. His work "Cosmic Brand Cigarettes" is one of the representatives, the whole film uses the Tangshan dialect to sharply satirize the false propaganda, and the live performance is also full of interaction, with a large number of mouths and baggage to make the performance effect explode.
This work left a deep imprint in the history of the Spring Festival Gala, when a cigarette factory in the Northeast saw its popularity, immediately preemptively registered the trademark and renamed the cigarettes it produced as "Universe Brand Cigarettes", sales increased significantly, successfully saved a company, and once again proved the infinite charm of Ma Ji's cross talk.
After Ma Ji's stand-up comedy fire in 1984, in the spring evening of 1985, cross talk Taidou Ma Sanli also appeared on the stage, although he was over seventy years old at the time, but he still won the audience's love with the difficult stand-up comedy "Da Le Tele".
Ma Sanli, the master of the cross talk industry, is not satisfied with his Spring Festival Gala performance. This work has been carefully polished, the baggage is reasonably designed, and his profound stage skills should have achieved good results.
However, the environment of the Spring Festival Gala was not ideal at that time, the open-air stadium made the audience feel cold, and the sound effect of the stage was also very bad, resulting in the final effect not meeting expectations.
In addition, Ma's cross talk pays attention to paving and steady, and often talks about a long foreshadowing, just for the last bottom burden. But this is far from the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala stage and the appreciation level of young audiences, therefore, Ma Sanli's cross talk has not attracted large-scale attention and dissemination, and compared with Ma Ji's "Universe Brand Cigarettes", it is obviously much inferior.
The failure of this Spring Festival Gala made Ma Sanli decide not to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, which also made the 1985 Spring Festival Gala his only Spring Festival Gala performance. Despite this, he still left a deep mark on the cross talk world, and his works and art style are still loved by a wide audience.
